Bird Gardens Pavilion

The open area in the Bird Gardens land houses an animal exhibit featuring Flimingos. In the past, large tents were constructed just for Howl-O-Scream, allowing compatible space for haunted mazes.

A long, rectangle shaped pavilion is located next to Jambo Junction in the Nairobi area. For Howl-O-Scream, the Pavilion is converted into a haunted house. In 2004, the pavilion was damaged by a tornado, and had to be rebuilt while it's would-be haunted house, Corporate Nightmare, was moved to Tut's Tomb.

A storage space building located between Pirates 4D and Cheetah Chase attractions. It became a spot for haunted mazes starting in 2006.

Akbar's Adventure Tours

Akbar's Adventure Tours was a simulator ride at the Egypt area of the park. In 2002, the attraction was shut down and only operated seasonally due to it's manufactuerer going out of business, allowing for Howl-O-Scream mazes to take place throughout it's unused queue areas. In 2007, the attraction was dismantled when it became impossible to continue running it, however, haunted mazes still continue to call the building home during the event.

An attraction located in the Egypt area of the park. It's first haunted house, in 2001, was potrayed to be an evil version of the Tut's Tomb attraction itself. In 2004, "Corporate Nightmare" was relocated to Tut's Tomb after a tornado damaged it's former location at the Nairobi Pavilion.

The queue then weaves around to an employees only area underneath the station where the maze begins.

A large open yard located next to Gwazi is used specially for the park's annual events, such as Viva la Musica and Summer Nights. During Howl-O-Scream, haunted houses are built on the yard based on an evil biker gang called "The Messengers".
